I was a princess in ancient times

Ji Xinxue and Ji Jingrou didn't realize until the palace servants from Fengxiang Palace came to Yuhe Palace to spread the word. They were too focused on discussing Abuhan Bing, and had already missed Emperor Changping's usual dinner time, and guilt appeared in their eyes at the same time.

"Starting tomorrow, Princess Huai'an's Mansion will hold a flower appreciation feast for three consecutive days. Your Majesty ordered Princess Baoding to assist Princess Huai'an." The palace servants of Fengxiang Palace respectfully said to Ji Jing.

When Ji Jingrou heard this, the guilty conscience in his eyes turned into surprise, "Have a flower viewing feast before the year?"

Ji Xinxue was also puzzled, and asked, "Who are the guests?"

For a normal banquet, especially a grand banquet that lasts more than one day, the process must be finalized at least half a month in advance, and guests should be invited seven days in advance.

How can there be such a reason for deciding to hold a banquet today and hold a banquet tomorrow?

What's more, at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, every family is busy connecting with relatives and friends, preparing for ancestor sacrifices, and family annual banquets.

Whether it is a courtier who is looking forward to the annual vacation with great difficulty, or the head mother who will not be free from the end of the twelfth lunar month to the beginning of February.To spare time to participate in the flower banquet held by Princess Huai'an Mansion from the 27th to the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, you have to overthrow several plans that have been finalized long ago.

The servants of Fengxiang Palace first affirmed Ji Jingrou's question, made sure that she was not wrong, and Ji Jingrou heard correctly, the flower banquet at Princess Huai'an's mansion is indeed from tomorrow to the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

Then he said to Ji Xinxue, "Your Majesty asks Prince Qinghe County to write an invitation card himself, and invite the gentleman and the girl who are the same age as Princess Huai'an to enjoy the flowers at Princess Huai'an's mansion."

Ji Xinxue understood in seconds.

The elder sister and the same-age man are equal to a blind date banquet.

But hasn't the eldest sister already selected Runan Hou Shizi?

Why do you want to hold a blind date again?

After the servants of Fengxiang Palace left, both Ji Xinxue and Ji Jingrou gave up the idea of ​​going to Fengxiang Palace to pay respects to Emperor Changping.

The entire army annihilated the five candidates for the son-in-law. One can imagine what Emperor Changping was feeling at this time.

Ji Jingrou was eager to know more inside information, and also worried that Ji Minyan would be reprimanded by Emperor Changping, so she hurriedly bid farewell to Ji Xinxue and went to Changqiu Palace to find Ji Minyan.

Ji Xinxue ate dinner alone, lying on the bed and repeating the process of 'slumbering and suddenly waking up'.

When she woke up completely in the morning, Ji Xinxue sat up holding the quilt, staring at the bed curtain in a daze.

He has forgotten the specific reason for his melancholy, like a thought suddenly flashed in his mind when he woke up at night, which made his mood unchanged from midnight to now.

Ji Jingrou had already left the palace with Ji Minyan when the palace gate was opened, and deliberately left her confidant to explain Ji Xinxue's doubts.

The unexpected flower banquet at Princess Huai'an's mansion was indeed a blind date banquet on the spur of the moment by Emperor Changping.

Not only Ji Minyan's blind date banquet, but also Ji Jingrou's blind date banquet.

"Our princess said that she will carefully guard Princess Huai'an and help Princess Huai'an find a suitable husband as soon as possible." Ji Jingrou's palace man said.

Ji Xinxue pondered for a moment, hesitation appeared on his face.

Why did he feel that Emperor Changping had nothing to do with Ji Minyan, so he vented his 'qi' on Ji Jingrou?

Ji Minyan also seemed to want to use Ji Jingrou as a shield.

In this impromptu blind date, the protagonist is probably not Ji Minyan but Ji Jingrou.

If there is no accident, the right-age man who has time to go to the Huai'an Princess's mansion for a banquet, originally the first task in this year is to walk around, seeing girls and being looked at by girls at the same time.Most of them have already appeared in Ji Minyan's selection list several times.

As proud as Ji Minyan, how could she suddenly change her mind and fall in love with someone she once despised?

A real gentleman with a good family background, good conduct, and good manners would not "stalk" Ji Minyan repeatedly.

On the contrary, Ji Jingrou, who has just returned to Chang'an and is of marriageable age, is more likely to find someone pleasing to the eye in the flower feast.

After Ji Jingrou's court lady left, Ji Xinxue went to the study to look at the annual gift list drawn up by the officials of the princess's mansion, and ordered Qingyun to take someone to check the annual ceremony and send it to various places.Then go to Fengxiang Palace to have lunch with Emperor Changping.

Emperor Changping beckoned Ji Xinxue to go to him, and asked casually, "Did Jing Rou tell you what kind of son-in-law you want to find?"

Ji Xinxue recalled Ji Jingrou's excitement when she saw Ah Buhan Bing, and said without hesitation, "It looks good."

Sure enough, because Aye suffered too many setbacks in the elder sister's choice of a husband, his eyes had passed over the elder sister and focused on the third sister.

"Huh?" Emperor Changping pondered for a moment, and humbly asked Ji Xinxue, "How beautiful?"

Ji Xinxue believed that Emperor Changping would not do the stupid thing of giving the third daughter someone who had an affair with the eldest daughter, so she bent down and whispered in Emperor Changping's ear, "Yesterday the third sister saw Ah Buhan Bing, and she once said that she wanted to know about Ah Buhan Bing. Not rare ice has no brother or from brother."

Hearing the words, Emperor Changping raised his eyelids to look at Ji Xinxue, and said with a half-smile, "Is Ah Buhan Bing really so good-looking?"

Why, one or both of them looked at him with blue eyes.

Ji Xinxue looked back at Emperor Changping innocently, "I haven't seen Abuhanbing yet."

Emperor Changping sneered, "I've seen Ah Buhan Bing, do you want to ask him if he has any older sisters?"

What's the point of this?

Ji Xinxue bowed her head silently because of Emperor Changping's unreasonable anger.

Facing Emperor Changping's increasingly sharp gaze, he replied honestly, "I would like to know more if I have any half-sisters."

Emperor Changping was stunned for a moment before he realized what Ji Xinxue's words meant, and lightly reprimanded, "Nonsense!"

Ji Xinxue noticed that the sourness in the air had decreased, and secretly thought that Emperor Changping had duplicity, and said with a smile, "It's fine for Feng Lang to have half-sisters."

"He doesn't have a half-sister, don't you have a half-sister?" Emperor Changping was distracted by Ji Xinxue's thoughts, and his heart moved slightly. Thoughts when proposing marriage.

If Yu Heng likes Ji Mingtong, this is an excellent marriage.

Now he no longer needs to rely on Yu Heng to leave a way for his children, but he is even more reluctant to part with Yu Heng, his son-in-law.

Xiao Si is naturally detached and has no opinion.There are Hua Yang and Ji Cheng, two elders who can be regarded as Xiaosi, but also very independent people.Piansheng Xiao Si has been close to these two people since she was a child, and she will believe whatever these two people say.

It's a 'disaster' for three spoiled and spoiled people who have never had a bad temper to come together in the same place.

The more he thought about Ji Mingtong's marriage, the more Emperor Changping sympathized with Ji Mingtong's future son-in-law, and he could even foresee the scene where the son-in-law and his family members begged to see him every day, crying and complaining about their grievances.

Princess Shang, not only has to serve the princess, but also the princess' aunt and uncle... This is definitely not a pressure that ordinary people can bear.

After thinking about it, Emperor Changping felt that only Yu Heng, who was also from the clan, could hold down Ji Mingtong, Princess Huayang and Ji Cheng.

Yu Heng and Ji Mingtong can be regarded as acquainted when they were young, and they know each other well, and they are brothers with Ji Cheng, and they are no strangers to Princess Huayang, at least they will not be excluded by these three people.

Besides, Yu Heng is not a temperless person. If Ji Mingtong, Princess Huayang and Ji Cheng dare to make trouble, it is not certain who will suppress who.

"Feng Lang and Fourth Sister?" Ji Xinxue opened her eyes wide and subconsciously took half a step forward, "How is that possible!"

The more Emperor Changping thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea, so he took the time to ask Ji Xinxue, "Why is it impossible?"

He also watched Yu Heng grow up, although he first took care of Yu Heng because he felt guilty about the marriage contract and wanted to make up for Yu Heng.But after so many years of contact, he has long regarded Yu Heng as his own child.

Even if Yu Heng didn't become his son-in-law in the end, he would still recognize Yu Heng as his son-in-law.

In Emperor Changping's mind, sons-in-law with descendants of the same blood were closer to each other after all.

Ji Xinxue brushed away all kinds of messy thoughts in her mind, and explained, "Fourth Sister and Feng Lang have known each other for so many years and haven't developed feelings for each other, how could they want to marry each other?"

Emperor Changping smiled tolerantly, "They're just not enlightened yet."

Looking at the whole of Chang'an, how many people get married because they like it?

Besides, he didn't insist on letting Ji Mingtong marry Yu Heng, but he just hoped that they would consider each other first.

Ji Xinxue couldn't refute Emperor Changping's words.

He also knew that neither Ji Mingtong nor Yu Heng had enlightened, and there were countless possibilities in the future.

But... It's strange, as long as he thinks about the possibility of Yu Heng and Ji Mingtong getting married, he will feel unable to face the two of them.

Ji Xinxue leaned against the desk in front of Emperor Changping, lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

Closest sister and best brother.

On paper, this was clearly the best choice for him.

Yu Heng and Ji Mingtong got married, and Ji Mingtong would definitely not prevent Yu Heng and his 'ex-fiancée' from continuing to be inseparable.He worried for a long time that 'Yu Heng's marriage will affect his friendship with Yu Heng' will no longer exist.

"Aye, forget it."

The words to persuade Emperor Changping to give up his mind blurted out before reason.

Emperor Changping responded in surprise, "Huh?"

Unspeakable frustration suddenly appeared on Ji Xinxue's face.He bent down and put his head on Emperor Changping's shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "What if they don't play with me after they get married?"

Without waiting for Emperor Changping to respond, Ji Xinxue said again, "Would it be possible that I will have conflicts with Elder Sister, and Elder Sister and Yu Heng will ignore me."

There will be no conflict between him and Yu Heng, because Yu Heng will let him.

Emperor Changping raised his hand and patted Ji Xinxue's back lightly, held back the smile on his lips, and said kindly, "Okay, then don't ask."

Ever since Ji Xinxue left the small courtyard at the age of seven, Emperor Changping felt that Ji Xinxue was more thoughtful than her peers.This was the first time he saw Ji Xinxue's childish side, how could he not be soft-hearted.

Besides, he knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to match Ji Mingtong and Yu Heng, it was purely from Ji Mingtong's point of view.I hope that Ji Mingtong can find a son-in-law who is satisfactory in all aspects, who is worthy of her and can live with her.

From Yu Heng's point of view, Emperor Changping could find many more suitable candidates for the princess than Ji Mingtong.

Anyway, asking Ji Mingtong and Yu Heng to consider each other first may not lead to results, so why bother making Xiao Wu unhappy?

Hearing that Emperor Changping agreed to him easily and gave up the idea of ​​matching Yu Heng and Ji Mingtong, Ji Xinxue suddenly felt unspeakably ashamed.

It was as if he personally cut off the red line between Yu Heng and Ji Mingtong.

Ji Xinxue couldn't help thinking, if he didn't stop Emperor Changping's idea, and watched Emperor Changping make Yu Heng and Ji Mingtong match up, or even match up personally, would Yu Heng and Ji Mingtong become good couples?

he does not know.

Ji Xinxue absent-mindedly promised Emperor Changping that he would promptly feed back Ji Jingrou's criteria for choosing a son-in-law to Emperor Changping.

After walking out of Fengxiang Palace, Ji Xinxue suddenly remembered that he had something important to say, so he hurried back and told Emperor Changping that Ji Minyan had found out his true gender.

Walking out of Fengxiang Palace again, Ji Xinxue gave up the idea of ​​paying respects to Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su, and went straight back to Yuhe Palace.

He felt that his mind was a little confused, probably because he hadn't slept well for two consecutive nights.Decided to sleep first, and then think about things that I can't think clearly.

Ji Xinxue slept extremely restlessly.

He always felt that he had a lot of dreams, but he couldn't remember the content of the dreams. Only the thick and thick sweat on his forehead was the most real.

Until being awakened by the cold wind blowing head-on to the sweaty forehead, and seeing Ji Mingtong with reddish eyes, Ji Xinxue still couldn't tell whether the voice of "princess" that she heard just now from far and near was something that happened in reality , or something that happened in a dream.

After a long time, Ji Xinxue's sluggish eyes gradually regained focus, and looked at Ji Mingtong who was always looking at him with teary eyes but refused to speak with a complicated expression.

"What's wrong?" he asked softly.

It must not be related to his conversation with Aye in Fengxiang Palace.

Hearing Ji Xinxue's voice, Ji Mingtong, who looked like a beautiful sculpture, could no longer force himself to remain calm.She threw herself into Ji Xinxue's arms, tears streaming down Ji Xinxue's neck, "Kange! He, he dared to lie to me!"

Ji Xinxue blinked, and anger flashed between her brows, "Kange?"

"Don't tell Yingying and Ji Cheng, they will definitely laugh at me." Ji Mingtong choked up between crying.

Hearing Ji Xinxue's assurance, Ji Mingtong told Ji Xinxue everything that made her lose control of her emotions.

Ji Mingtong went to congratulate the engagement of the prince of the Marquis of Cheng En today.

Originally, Ji Minyan was responsible for maintaining a decent relationship with her mother's family, and it was never Ji Jingyu and Ji Mingtong's turn.

Earlier, Ji Minyan planned to go to Runanhou's mansion on this day to celebrate the birthday of Runanhou, so she handed over this matter to Ji Mingtong.

Ji Mingtong only needs to bring Ji Minyan's prepared congratulatory gifts, arrive at Cheng'en Gong's mansion before the engagement ceremony is about to start, and sit for half an hour to complete the task.

"Wang Hui'er stained my clothes, so I went to change. On the way back to the banquet, I heard someone talking about Mr. Kang's family. They said that Kang Ge..." Ji Mingtong said this, his anger and grievance burst again, and he shook his head again. Buried in Ji Xinxue's neck and cried loudly.

Ji Xinxue's brain hurts because of Ji Mingtong's way of "stopping at the most critical place" of speaking, and she can't bear to let Ji Mingtong hold back his emotions and say the important things first.He could only pat Ji Mingtong on the back, restrained his anxiety, and waited for Ji Mingtong to vent his emotions first.

After a long time, Ji Mingtong spoke intermittently, "Kang, Kang Geyou, the outer room!"

"Axue, he lied to me. He said he only likes me, and he can love me even if he doesn't want his life. In his eyes, all the girls in the world are inferior to me. Will fall into it forever when seeing me, and will never have anything to do with other girls..."

Ji Xinxue took a deep breath to keep calm, and the fingers holding the quilt had lost their blood color due to too much force.

What kind of scumbag is this.

There are really little fools who would believe it.

Ji Mingtong raised his head with the shattered hair sticking to his cheeks, his eyes were full of grievances, "Axue, he lied to me. Every time Yingying and Ji Cheng said that he was uneasy and kind, I would speak well for him, and I would not allow Yingying and Ji Cheng Cheng drove him away, and he lied to me!"

"I, I..." Ji Mingtong's tears rolled down his eyes, "How can I face Yingying and Ji Cheng in the future, they will definitely laugh at me. Especially Ji Cheng, he has the most poisonous mouth."

Speaking of this, Ji Mingtong's emotions collapsed again, and he buried his head in Ji Xinxue's other shoulder, and soon wet Ji Xinxue's pajamas on the other side, and the names he chanted changed from Kang Ge to Yingying and Ji Cheng .

Ji Xinxue listened to Yingying and Ji Cheng's ears, and the anger on her face gradually turned empty.

He deliberately ignored the crying in his ears, and went back to the process of Ji Mingtong crying and complaining about his grievances.

First of all, according to Ji Mingtong's cry, it was just that someone "quietly" said that Kang Ge had an outside room, and Ji Mingtong happened to hear it.

Then, although Ji Mingtong was crying all the time, he didn't seem to care much about Kang Ge?

When mentioning Kang Ge, what he cared most about was that Kang Ge lied to her, not that Kang Ge was raising a concubine.

Because she didn't know how to face Princess Huayang and Ji Cheng's accusations, that's why she was so worried about Kang Ge's cheating on her.

Ji Xinxue patted Ji Mingtong's back with one hand, and gently dragged the quilt that fell on the ground back to the bed with the other hand, and adjusted it into a comfortable position to lean against.After several ups and downs in the mood, only the calmness remained.

It took an unknown amount of time before Ji Mingtong, whose voice remained loud and clear, stopped crying and lay motionless on Ji Xinxue's shoulder.

Ji Xinxue already knew that Ji Mingtong's heart knot was with Princess Huayang and Ji Cheng, not Kange.

He deliberately skipped Princess Huayang and Ji Cheng who were more important in Ji Mingtong's heart, and mentioned Kang Ge first, "How do you plan to punish Kang Ge?"

Ji Mingtong remained silent.

Ji Xinxue suggested, "Fifty sticks?"

Ji Mingtong still did not respond.

Ji Xinxue raised half of her eyebrows, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Forever let him appear in front of you again?"

"Is it possible?" Ji Mingtong changed his posture, still resting on Ji Xinxue's shoulder, looking at Ji Xinxue with bright eyes without blinking, "Can he not appear in front of Yingying and Ji Cheng?"

Ji Xinxue held back the smile in her throat, and nodded firmly, "Of course."

Without alarming Emperor Changping, he could easily accomplish this and ensure that no one related to Kang Ge would appear in Chang'an again.

After getting an affirmative answer, the tension in Ji Mingtong's eyes that almost turned into substance lessened slightly, and he whispered to Ji Xinxue, "Will Yingying and Ji Cheng know about this?"

Ji Xinxue raised her hand and tapped on Ji Mingtong's forehead, "If Aye makes a move, they won't know."

When Ji Mingtong heard this, his red and swollen phoenix eyes immediately bent into a crescent shape, and his voice was sweet and clear, like a carefree lark, "I'm going to ask Aye!"

Having said that, Ji Mingtong didn't move immediately, she relaxed and slumped in the spare place on the bed, recalling the details of her acquaintance with Kang Ge, after all, she was not without a little sadness.

"Kang Ge promised to give me a white fox." Her tone could not hide her regret.

Ji Xinxue raised her hand and touched Ji Mingtong's head, "How many white foxes do you want? Do you want red foxes and sables? My mother has white and black goats, sheep, and argali with almost round horns. A high-necked sheep bought from an exotic merchant."

Ji Mingtong turned over and turned into a posture lying on the bed, with his hands on his head, and looked at Ji Xinxue with bright eyes.

"If you want a beast, we can go to Aye's village to steal it." Ji Xinxue bent down, and whispered in Ji Mingtong's ear mysteriously, "The big striped cat on Aye's village gave birth to two cats and is still drinking milk." The cubs, and a black bear cub, and the peacock are also hatching eggs, and they will probably break their shells in the next few days."

Joy and timidity flashed in Ji Mingtong's eyes, he completely forgot about Kang Ge, and asked with only her and Ji Xinxue's voice, "How do you steal it?"

Zhuangzi, who specializes in raising animals, is heavily guarded, even guarded by Jinwu Guards, how could he allow snitches in and out?

Besides, her and A Xue's skills... might not even be able to climb over the wall.

Ji Mingtong couldn't figure it out, but she believed in Ji Xinxue wholeheartedly.I firmly believe that as long as Ji Xinxue speaks, there must be a way.

"Let's go to Zhuangzi, take away the animal cubs in the name of Aye, and then take them to the grandmother, saying that Aye gave us the little beast. Aye must be embarrassed to ask for the 'reward' back." Ji Xinxue's face remained unchanged. Tell me about the robbery plan.

"Axue is so smart!" Ji Mingtong looked up at Ji Xinxue from bottom to top, in addition to admiration, there was a touch of shyness in his eyes, and he said from the bottom of his heart, "You don't look like a sister, but like a brother."

Ji Xinxue chuckled, and gladly accepted Ji Mingtong's compliment.

Ji Mingtong thought that Ji Xinxue couldn't understand what she said, and was perfunctory her with a smile.

She quickly got up from the bed, and said to Ji Xinxue seriously, "It really feels like a brother. I am obviously older than you, but you have been the one who cleaned up the mess and gave me advice since I was a child."

"Although the eldest sister and third sister will also solve my troubles, but they..." Ji Mingtong hesitated.

but what?

Axue can give her a more down-to-earth feeling.When lying in Ah Xue's arms, it was like being in a fortified city, not worried about Yingying and Ji Cheng's ridicule towards her at all.

Ji Mingtong's puzzled eyes followed Ji Xinxue's indulgent smile to the wet marks on his shoulders, his eyes flashed with amazement.

But the older sisters don't have the broad shoulders of Ashe.

When she was crying on her sisters' shoulders, she was always worried that her sisters' shoulders would be crushed by her, and when she regained her senses, she didn't dare to rely on her sisters' shoulders anymore.

It doesn't matter if it's Ashue.

Ji Mingtong wanted to recall how he felt when he cried and vented his emotions just now, so he moved back to Ji Xinxue's side and leaned his head on Ji Xinxue's shoulder.

That's right, it's such a solid feeling.

Unexpectedly, Ah Xue looks similar to the third sister, but her shoulders are much wider than the third sister.

Could it be because Axue's head is small, so her shoulders appear broad?

Ji Mingtong quietly raised his head, secretly observing Ji Xinxue's mandible, trying to judge whether Ji Xinxue's head is smaller than others without comparison.

Looking back and forth without getting an answer, Ji Mingtong was about to give up when he was suddenly attracted by the conspicuous protrusion.She couldn't help but raise her hand to touch the same spot on her neck.

"Axue?" Ji Mingtong's tone contained obvious worry.

"Huh?" Ji Xinxue, who was thinking about Cheng'enhou's Mansion and Kange, responded casually, "What's wrong?

As he spoke, the Adam's apple in his neck rose and fell obviously under Ji Mingtong's gaze.

The worry in Ji Mingtong's eyes was even worse, and he raised his other hand to cover Ji Xinxue's Adam's apple, "Axue, is this the mark left after you were bitten by a poisonous insect?"

It turned out not to be a scar, but a raised hard bump, no wonder Ah Xue never left her silk scarf all day long.

Feeling the warm touch on her neck, Ji Xinxue suddenly fell into 'who am I, where am I, and what am I going to do. ' the soul asked itself.

It was difficult for him to sleep soundly, and of course he would not wear a silk scarf while sleeping.

When Ji Mingtong rushed in, his expression was extremely strange, and he was crying so miserably. His attention was all on Ji Mingtong, and he completely forgot about the silk scarf.

Hearing Ji Mingtong's question, Ji Xinxue's sanity gradually returned.

He hesitated for a while, grabbed Ji Mingtong's hand covering his Adam's apple and took it to another place, lowered his head and looked at Ji Mingtong who was full of distress and worry, "This is not a scar, it's an Adam's apple."

"Adam's apple?" Ji Mingtong was confused.

Ji Xinxue nodded, "Lang Jun grows up, and when his voice changes, he will grow Adam's apple."

When Ji Mingtong heard Ji Xinxue talking to her in a firm tone, he nodded subconsciously.

What A Xue said was definitely right, it wasn't the marks left by the poisonous insect bites.

How painful it was to have such a big bag.

Ji Xinxue remained calm only on the surface, her seemingly mild but secretly tense eyes were firmly locked on Ji Mingtong's face, refusing to let go of any changes.

Seeing Ji Mingtong, he nodded first, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

After a long time, he looked at him with doubts in his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

The bewilderment in Ji Xinxue's eyes was no less than Ji Mingtong's, and he even doubted his memory.

Did he really tell Ji Mingtong his real gender just now?

Was it because he didn't speak clearly, or Ji Mingtong was too slow.

After all, it would not be Ji Mingtong who heard him admitting that he was a gentleman, and accepted it with just a few breaths.

Ji Mingtong was crying because of Kang Ge's deception just now, so he will not easily forgive himself for deceiving her for a longer time.

Ji Xinxue smiled wryly, and repeated what he said just now to Ji Mingtong, "This is the Adam's apple. When you grow up, you will grow an Adam's apple when your voice changes."

Ji Mingtong nodded halfway, and suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked in surprise, "Why do you have an Adam's apple?"

"Because I am a gentleman."

When he really said this, Ji Xinxue realized that the confession was not as difficult as he imagined. He added to Ji Mingtong apologetically, "I am a younger brother, not a younger sister."

"Impossible!" Ji Mingtong abruptly withdrew the hand held by Ji Xinxue, and stared at Ji Xinxue vigilantly, "You lied to me!"

Her younger sister is the number one beauty in Chang'an!

It can't be my brother!

Don't try to lie to her!

Ji Xinxue rubbed his forehead. Over the years, he had thought countless times about how he would react to Yu Heng and his brothers and sisters when they confessed their gender.

Never thought it would be like this.

"I'm really a gentleman, you can ask Aye." Ji Xinxue could only move out the almighty Emperor Changping.

The anger in Ji Mingtong's eyes turned into suspicion.

"You and Aye jointly lied to me?" Ji Mingtong found evidence for her suspicion, "Just now you coaxed me to go to Aye's village to steal the cubs, just to set me up and want me to relax my vigilance."

She looked at Ji Xinxue sadly, her eyes were full of disappointment, "How can you learn from your brothers and sisters?"

Seeing Ji Mingtong's reaction, Ji Xinxue didn't know what to say.

He had heard that Ji Mingtong was innocent when he was a child, and was always tricked by Emperor Changping, Ji Minyan, and Ji Jingrou.

It's a pity that when he left the small courtyard, Ji Mingtong was already a big boy who could go to school, so he never witnessed how Ji Mingtong was coaxed.

After repeated interruptions by Ji Mingtong, Ji Xinxue's nervousness had all dissipated, and he showed helplessness, "How can Sister believe that I am a gentleman?"

Seeing that Ji Mingtong remained silent, Ji Xinxue suggested, "Shall I change clothes?"

"Don't be so troublesome." Ji Mingtong's eyes followed Ji Xinxue's Adam's apple all the way down, "You let me..."

She has seen erotic pictures a long time ago, and knows where is the only place where men and women can be distinguished.

Knowing that the pajamas were thick and Ji Mingtong couldn't see anything, Ji Xinxue still couldn't help pinching her legs.

He pulled the quilt that was piled up behind him to cover his legs, and immediately gave up, "I was just joking with Sister, bye, Sister."

The suspicion on Ji Mingtong's face became more and more serious, and he said slowly, "Even if you are a younger brother, you are still my own younger brother. What are you afraid of?"

Ji Xinxue tightened the corner of the quilt silently, shrinking in with her whole body.

"Sister, you can go and see Aye and Ji Cheng's Adam's apple."

If Ji Mingtong still doesn't believe it, let's wait until the first day.

Before dinner, Caishi told Ji Xinxue that Ji Mingtong left Yuhe Palace and immediately went to Fengxiang Palace, and he still hasn't left Fengxiang Palace.

Ji Xinxue waved her hand, hurriedly finished her dinner, went back to bed to think about life, and didn't fall asleep until midnight.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Ji Xinxue waited for Ji Mingtong in Yuhe Palace all day, but Ji Mingtong left the palace when it was still daylight, and did not return until the palace gate was locked.

Ji Xinxue could only ask Emperor Changping what Ji Mingtong thought about his gender.

When Emperor Changping heard Ji Xinxue's question, his expression suddenly became strange, "She still doesn't believe that only men have Adam's apple, so she went to various banquets to see Adam's apple."

Ji Xinxue's hand holding the tea paused in the air, and asked another question, "Did Sister tell Aye about the Kang Pavilion?"

Emperor Changping nodded, "We must let people have a good year in Chang'an, and we will talk about it later. I have sent people to remind Huayang and Ji Cheng that they are not allowed to laugh at Mingtong because of this incident."

Not to mention whether Emperor Changping had the kindness to leave Kang Ge in Chang'an for a 'good' year under Ji Mingtong's complaint.Just because Emperor Changping never interfered with how the juniors interacted, but this time he specially sent someone to ask Ji Cheng and Princess Huayang not to ridicule Ji Mingtong because of this matter, we can see that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

It's a pity that Emperor Changping didn't intend to solve Ji Xinxue's confusion, so Ji Xinxue could only go back to Yuhe Palace and guess slowly.

The next day, Ji Xinxue didn't wait for Ji Mingtong, but Ji Jingrou who assisted Ji Minyan in hosting a banquet at Princess Huai'an's mansion.

"My lord who is going to the banquet..."

Ji Xinxue was interrupted by Ji Jingrou before she finished speaking.She snorted coldly, her pretty face was full of anger, "Don't mention them, it's just a disappointment."

Ji Xinxue was not surprised at all.

Although the relationship between the brothers and sisters is good, it is inevitable that they will be close or distant due to their age.

Such as Ji Minyan, Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou, he and Ji Mingtong.

Ji Jingrou grew up with Ji Minyan's side since she was a child, and her aesthetics is almost the same as Ji Minyan's. It's strange that she can pick out the ones who are pleasing to the eye from those who Ji Minyan screened for a few rounds.

It was Emperor Changping's order to assist Ji Minyan in hosting a banquet at Princess Huai'an's mansion. Ji Jingrou is not Ji Mingtong, even if he doesn't like the man who goes to the banquet, it will not be obvious to others.

"Sister, what do you want me to do?" Ji Xinxue asked.

Ji Jingrou didn't want to talk to Ji Xinxue about the troublesome things that happened in Princess Huai'an's mansion, so she stated her purpose straight to the point, "I entered the palace because I want you to persuade Yu Heng to restrain himself."

"Feng Lang?" Ji Xinxue's eyes were blank.

Yu Heng is offering sacrifices to the ancestors behind closed doors at Princess Anguo's mansion, and has not sent any news to the palace for nearly three days.

"The day before yesterday, an oiran who had been redeemed for a long time hugged the two-year-old Xiaolang and went to the gate of Chengyehou's mansion to scold him. She said that Mr. Sanlang of Chengyehou's mansion still owes her prostitution money until now, and asked Chengyehou to replace Mr. Sanlang. Give me enough money to raise my grandson, otherwise she will send him to Hualou to be a Guigong." Ji Jingrou raised his hand to cover his mouth, "Cheng Yehou has no sons, so I can only find someone from among the sons to be demoted to the title. Although Mr. Sanlang He is not successful, but he is the younger brother of Mr. Dalang and his mother. When this incident happened, the marriage that Mr. Dalang had already arranged was directly ruined, and the position of the eldest son who basically got it is not as secure as before."

Ji Xinxue shook her head, "Feng Lang and Cheng Yehou have no grudges."

Ji Jingrou didn't argue with Ji Xinxue, but talked about other things.

"The day before yesterday, Mr. Jiulang of South Korea and his friends went hunting in the mountains. He was the only one who disappeared in the mountains and was found in the middle of the night yesterday. It is said that Mr. Jiulang of South Korea did not have any wounds on his body, but he was quite frightened. He opened his mouth and shut up. There are ghosts haunting him."

"Yesterday, Lord Balang of the Marquis of Wuyang had a big fight with a wealthy businessman from other places when he was fighting for the oiran in Hualou, and his face was broken. The businessman disappeared mysteriously, and he has not been found yet."

……

The more Ji Xinxue listened, the more relieved he became. He assured Ji Jingrou, "Feng Lang has no grievances with these people, and he will never waste time on them."

Thinking that it might be someone behind the scenes who brought the evidence to Yu Heng, which made Ji Jingrou misunderstand Yu Heng, Ji Xinxue said again, "It's better to find out who they offended."

"Yu Heng was the one who offended." Ji Jingrou snorted coldly, "We went outside the city to greet Aye that day, and there were seven gentlemen making noises, asking if you were watching them. Now five gentlemen have accidents one after another, either you or Yu Heng."

Ji Xinxue showed surprise, "Booing?"

Ji Jingrou looked at his younger sister who knew nothing about her beauty, and her expression suddenly softened, "Sister, I don't think Yu Heng's behavior of protecting you is wrong, but I just want him to restrain himself. Even if he gave these things one after another within a year Let me teach you a lesson, don't do it so blatantly, it will save you a lot of trouble."

"As for those crazy bees and butterflies..." Ji Jingrou's eyes showed a ruthless look, "If someone is disrespectful to you because they covet your beauty, you can just whip them in the face with a whip."

Ji Xinxue recalled what happened outside the city on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and the embarrassment on her face became more and more intense.

Crazy bees, waves and butterflies...

This description made him want to rub the goosebumps on his arms.

At that time, Yu Heng let him get off the horse, because he didn't want him to see those people, and was afraid that he would get angry?

Ji Xinxue's heart warmed slightly, and she still didn't think that it was Yu Heng's fault that five of the seven people had accidents within three days, but she didn't defend Yu Heng any more.

It's an honor to blame the emperor!

Seeing that Ji Xinxue obediently complied with her instructions, Ji Jingrou didn't say any more about it.She chatted a few more gossips with Ji Xinxue, and rushed back to Princess Huai'an's mansion before noon to continue the flower banquet.
